Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi
Topic: Prevailing by faith (Fight the good Fight of Faith) (9)
Text: 1 Timothy 1:13 →"I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession" .[KJV]
* As a Christian, whether you realise it or not, you are faced with a battle
* What is your confession?
→ I am a casualty?
→ I am a victor?
* We are fighting against:
1. Self
2. Sin
3. Satan
* You must arm yourself with the confession of life → that the Lord is good
★ Nahum 1:7 →"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him." [KJV]
* If you must be victorious in the battle of faith, you must realize that the Lord is good
* On your own you have no power over self, sin or Satan
★ 1st Corinthians 9:25-26 →"And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air." [KJV]
* You must be temperate in all things
* Must be certain in the victory you want to win
* If you can win the battle over self, you can win other battles presented before you
* You must be determined to keep self under control and subjection
* Sometimes if you are fighting the good fight of faith, we will be wounded but there is healing & comfort in our God!
☆ 2 Corinthians 7:4-6→ "My boldness of speech [is] great toward you; my glorying on your behalf [is] much. I have been filled with comfort, I am overflowing with joy on all our trouble. 5 For, indeed, coming into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but being troubled in every way, [with] fightings [on the] outside, and fears [on the] inside. 6 But He who comforts the lowly comforted us by the coming of Titus." [MKJV]
